DfscouraEing Report Or Special Commls'
sioner Atkinson.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2-The Presiden,
has transmitted to Congress the report o.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Massachusetts
who, he says. was especially designated by
me under the provisions of successive acts
Of Congress to visit the financial centers OF
Europe. in order to ascertain the feasibility
Of establishing by international standard 6
fixity Of ratio between the two precious
metals in f. ee courage of BOTH
Mr.. Atkinson summarizes the results OF
his inquiries under four heads as follows
l. There is no prospect OF any change in
the present m notary system of European
States which can modify or influence the
financial policy of the I'm. ted s a:es at the
pres Mt time.
9. There are no indications Of any change
in the policy OF the tiralcial au horities Of
the several Staes visited by me whirt
warrant any expectation that the subjec-
of a lime "a lie tire ,ty for a common lega
tender, couped wi h the free coinage o.
silver. will be seriously considered at tbs
present time Y them.
& There Ia no indication that the subject
of bimstallism has recaivei any intelligent
or ser GUS C ms deration out side of a small
Giro e il each coan ry named as a probable
or possible remedy for the existing causes
Of alleged depression in trade.
4. There il no considerable politically or
ganized body of influential persons in either
country with whom a combination could be
made, il such combination or cooperation
we've desirable on the part Of similar body
IN the United States, for promo; ing any
definite or practicable measures of leg sla-
tion 20 tr ng about tae adoption Of the hi

accepted meaning of hat term. Tue DIS
cussion is as yet almost wholly personal
and without concentration of p .rpose or the

Fable OF being acte upon.
Mr.. AtSinson's most important conclusion
from his observati n is that il would be un.
wise and ixexpe iient for the United Sta'es
to agar take the initiative in promoting
action for general adoption OF bime; ali,t
legal tender, coup ed with the free coinage
OF silver, fer the reason that such action is
misconstrued and may tend to retari rather
